No matter if you are a human or an immortal, you can still farm for me after traveling through time!
Chapter 41 Li Silang is a little man who is very worried!
It's coldest when the snow melts, and even if the sun is melting, pedestrians are still bundled up.
The donkey cart moved slowly along the dirt road covered with broken ice. The roadside was filled with people coming from various villages to go to the county market. Most of them were women with their children. Some of them were going to sell goods, while others were going to buy things. , a main road to Shandan County was filled with noisy sounds.
People have been bored at home for a long time, and can they not be excited when they can finally come out and walk around?
Li Erlang and his party finally arrived at the county town. The donkey cart stopped at the foot of a short hill not far from the city gate. Li Aniang and Li Erlang got out of the car first. Li Aniang and Xu Qing were still in the car, hugging Li Jinniang and shouting Said: "After you two saw San Lang, you went to the handkerchief shop to look for us. The road is difficult, so we have to go back as soon as possible."
Li Aniang responded, and then she and Li Erlang helped them climb the short mountain.
The short mountain is only a hundred meters high, and only the branches of the trees on the mountain are left. Snow is sparsely piled on the withered ground, and the steps are covered with a layer of ice. Li Erlang is carrying a baggage on his back and helping his mother to go up. The baggage contains Give Li Sanlang a change of clothes and some food made by himself.
As a transit point on the main trade route, Shandan County is naturally not ordinary or poor. However, this area near Aishan in the county is ordinary, and there is no bustling scene of exquisite buildings, numerous restaurants, and gatherings of literati.
This is because Shandan County is also divided into regional management, and everyone should go where they want. This area in the west is divided into a place where civilians and ordinary traders hold markets. If anyone from nearby villages wants to sell goods or enter the city, they must enter through the city gate here.
Rich merchants and Hu merchants were trading in another market. The most prosperous one was to the east of Shandan. Even Li Erlang would sigh several times at the prosperity there. Literary men and women gathered here. The most famous bluestone in Shandan was The academy is also located on the east side.
Speaking of Qingshi Academy, the most famous thing is the question-solving meeting they organize in early spring every year, inviting students from all the schools and academies in the county to discuss test questions and guess questions together.
At that time, not only students from the county, but also people from the state capital will come here, and the scene will be very lively.
Li Sanlang's Chaomingshan Academy had also been invited several times, and he had been there several times. The question-solving sessions were really lively. Different students were solving the same question, but they had many different ideas, which benefited him a lot.
Here, Li Erlang and Li Aniang finally arrived in front of the academy. The doorman of the academy knew that family members of the students would come to visit today. When he saw Li Erlang and Li Aniang, he asked who they were looking for. After getting the answer, he went in to call someone.
Not long after, Li Sanlang walked out quickly with excitement on his face. He had not seen him for more than a month, so he naturally missed his family. "Aniang! Second brother! I knew you would come today!"
Outsiders were not allowed to enter the academy, so the three of them had to stand outside the academy.
The son traveled thousands of miles and his mother was worried. Now Li Aniang saw that Sanlang looked good and was not studying hard in the academy and not taking good care of his body. She inevitably told her son: "Your grandma and I made some snacks and meat sticks. You can take them with you and share them with your classmates. There are also some changes of clothes in it. Remember, you must take good care of yourself in school!"
Li Sanlang responded repeatedly.
Because they had to go to the county to buy things in a hurry and couldn't wait for the donkey cart back, Li Aniang and Li Erlang didn't have time to stay for a long time. After that, the two brothers chatted for a while and exchanged information before parting ways.
After descending the mountain, the two of them split up and headed straight to their respective destinations. They needed to buy oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. These shops were scattered here and there, and it would take a lot of effort to buy them all. Li A Nai and Xu Qing went to It is the market where Dabufang gathers in Shandan. Many ladies and ladies will work in Dabufang making handkerchiefs and scarves to earn some scattered money.
Li Aniang and the others are the same. They decided on the style at a silk cloth workshop years ago, and now they are here in a hurry to deliver the goods to the silk cloth workshop.
If the weather is hot, the donkey cart will wait for an hour and a half or two, but it can't do that now. The driver Qian Dingzhu Wan told them to leave in an hour. It had already taken Li Aniang and the others half an hour to go up the mountain, and they were in a hurry when they came down the mountain.
Li Erlang stopped for a while while passing the notice board, which posted a notice that Bai Qingshan was closed. There are no more monks passing by in the county. We don’t know where they went after coming down the mountain, and we don’t know what the officials will do with these monks in the future.
However, he was just a common man, and he couldn't fathom the thoughts of the higher-ups. He just hoped that, like Ji Qingyue's positive guess, the officials intended to rectify the chaos.
In the study on the other side.
With the experience of failing to grow wheat last time, Ji Qingyue was much more comfortable this time. If all the more than 400 square meters of land reclaimed years ago were sown with seeds, it would require at least 20 kilograms of wheat seeds. Not to mention that there are still many empty shells in these wheat seeds. After soaking in water and sieving the seeds, the weight will be greatly reduced.
He estimated that the remaining wheat that could be used for sowing might only be a little over ten kilograms. It would be impossible to plant all of it, but half of it was still feasible.
Li Erlang went out to the county with his family early today, and Ji Qingyue took a nap for a while, sleeping until he was satisfied before getting up.
The weather in February is still very cold, so the heated kang cannot be turned off.
Ji Qingyue stood up and put on his clothes, watching the mud tiles drying on the ground drying little by little, thinking about burning the tiles in his mind. He carefully avoided going to the kitchen to scoop out warm water for washing. Today he would loosen the soil in the field again, grind the soil into finer pieces, turn it up to dry, and prepare to plant wheat after the soil was dry.
During this period, Li Silang carried Tuan Lang to the study to study, and took advantage of this interval to chat with Ji Qingyue.
"The new book school has been chosen in a village three hours away from us, and we have to start raising money now! Aweng said it will be built in early March before the spring planting, and then I can go to school! "
Li Silang seems to have recovered from the banditry. A large part of the credit goes to Li Erlang. Li Erlang appeared in time when he was in crisis and did not let him stay alone in the crisis for too long. Afterwards, Sanlang even comforted him. After a while, the shadow of the silly and bold Li Silang soon disappeared, and he no longer resisted going to school.
Ji Qingyue chuckled: "Have you found the teacher too?"
Li Silang pursed his lips and looked a little depressed: "Years ago, the village leader asked someone to find a wife in the county, but there has been no result yet. Brother Ji, is it possible that the village school has been built or that there is no wife willing to come?" Teach us, right? Master Shi, who taught us before, treated us well. Shu Xiu only accepted three taels, but it's a pity...
The child sighed, and his eyes turned red when he thought that the wife he had been with for a month or two was no longer there. He sniffed: "I don't know how many cultivators the new wife will have to accept..."
Speaking of money, Ji Qingyue has saved almost ten taels in his hand. If he can live outside, he will be able to escape poverty and have enough food and clothing.
"Is your family worried about Shu Xiu?"
Li Silang hugged Tuan Lang, rested his chin, and thought deeply: "Although my brother informed the government of the location of the bandits' camp, the government went to the mountain several times to suppress the bandits but failed. I think the 20 shi of food that came to our house was for chasing." We can't get it back. Although Ah Weng asked us to save food, there was not much food on the table. I think our family will have to go out to buy food before next autumn harvest. Without the way of selling food for money, Ah Nai and the others have to be busy every day. Wearing a woven silk and embroidered handkerchief, Aniang secretly sighed several times last night, I guess Xu was not enough for me and my third brother..."
After picking up Li Silang, their family lost the money of several carts, and those who followed Li Aweng to deliver food. Although they were voluntary, everyone knew what it was like to face bandits - risking one's life. Even if they refused to take Li Aweng's money, they couldn't give nothing, and it ended up being another expense.
Li Silang's little head was filled with worry.
If he dared to tell Aniang Li that he didn't want to study, Aniang Li would have to jump up and beat him.
Ji Qingyue's words were stuck in his throat and he couldn't speak. Li Erlang knew best how much money he had. If he asked, he would definitely borrow it, but Li Erlang still said nothing.
Sigh... Let's talk about borrowing money later.
He didn't speak, and Li Silang didn't care. He was still young, and everyone in his family thought that he didn't know anything. They just thought that he was a naughty child with no worries in his heart, but he was also worried. No one listened to him seriously, so he came to Ji Ji. Qingyue.
Ji Qingyue became his most solid and reliable audience.
Li Silang was talking to himself alone, while Li Tuanlang leaned in his arms and took up all the space, munching on the pancake without worrying about anything. Since he choked last time, Tuanlang was not allowed to eat green dates at home.
"Brother Ji, did you know that there was a person in the academy who was unable to go out like me? Although their family has the same surname as ours, they are not from the same branch. They are not relatives and we have no contact with him on weekdays. Their family has no contact with him. It's extremely bad. I can't get out because the bandits deliberately made things difficult for him. He was trapped in the academy with no family to redeem him." Li Silang's eyes were wandering, as if he was recalling the day he was kidnapped by the bandits, but he soon Come over during the Qingming Festival.
Li Silang was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Yesterday, February 2, I went out to worship with my mother-in-law, and saw him walking on the road with tattered clothes and a bundle of firewood on his back. I asked my mother-in-law and found out that he had been driven out. Now we live in a shabby house. They...are so outrageous!"
Ji Qingyue was stunned and couldn't figure out the reason.
"After asking my mother-in-law, I learned that Yulang's father died after the military rebellion six years ago. Before he died, he left Yulang in the care of Uncle Wei. Unexpectedly, they kicked him out!"
Ji Qingyue was more and more confused: "So...why did you drive him out? Does Muramasa not care about this matter?"
Li Silang leaned back, his face a little decadent: "Aniang said that Yulang's father was injured on the battlefield and could not have children, so everyone knew that Yulang was not his father's biological child. Uncle Wei and the others relied on this, No matter what Muramasa said, he just refused to take Yuro back and said many outrageous things."
——Now I waited for the snow to melt before driving him out. He should thank me! Since he is not my brother's biological flesh and blood, why should I raise him in vain?
——If it weren't for my brother's entrustment, I would have sold him to the Yaren and sent him to a private school for half a year. I have exhausted my kindness and righteousness. I think we can use a grain of rice to redeem this bastard!
——The school still read out this bad thing. In that case, it’s okay not to read it, just keep the money to support the serious blood of my Li family.
……
Li Silang didn't want Ji Qingyue to find a way to help, he just wanted to express his inner distress. He held his bulging cheeks, squeezed out two lumps of flesh, and muttered: "When I think of him, I think of Brother Ji."
Ji Qingyue:? ? ?
Li Silang, who didn't want to say what was in his heart, shrank and quickly ran out with Tuan Lang in his arms: "No, no, no, he is nothing like Brother Ji."
There is simply no three hundred taels of silver here.
The man had already run out. Ji Qingyue smiled fondly and went back to continue leveling the land.
Thanks to the hoe, it's easier to do than before, just dig out the big clods and break them up. In just half a day, he had cleared 200 square meters of land.
Now he is used to cooking by himself, but it is limited to "cooking". He really doesn't know how to cook, bake and fry in clay pots. If the pottery is not up to standard and the heat is not controlled properly, it can easily fry the pot.
If you want to improve the food, you still have to rely on Li Erlang.
Sure enough, Li Aniang made a new dish that night, and Li Erlang came in with a rice bowl, corn mixed with wheat beans, a bowl of multigrain rice with dark meat strips on top.
Soft, tender and chewy, it doesn't seem like pork or mutton strips, but more like some offal, marinated and cooked in sauce, and has a salty and savory taste. "What kind of meat is this?"
Li Erlang held the bundle and sat in front of the painting as usual. He smiled and said, "This is the lamb lung soup with black bean sauce made by grandma and grandma. Does it taste good?"
Ji Qingyue was surprised for a second. He rarely eats mutton, let alone mutton offal. To be honest, the taste is very simple, but it is surprisingly fresh and tender.
"Yes, if possible, I also hope to taste more local food and learn from it." Among the modern cuisines he has eaten, home-cooked dishes can be reproduced with some effort, while complex dishes can only be used After thinking about it, I couldn’t do it even if I wanted to.
"I also took a look while cooking. You need to chop the lamb lungs finely, sprinkle with green onion and cook in black bean juice. This is a tonic. We will be preparing for spring plowing soon, so we need to replenish it."
Ji Qingyue happily tasted a local tonic dish, lamb lung soup with black bean sauce.
Li Erlang: "In two days, you can go to the river to break the ice and fish. Some of the fish caught by then will be pregnant with eggs. I will bring them back to you. Yue Lang, have you found a good place?"
The mission came suddenly. Ji Qing thought about it more and more, then looked down at the stream.
There is a transparent barrier on the stream that prevents him from passing by. I wonder if it will block other things, such as foreign fish fry? If it is blocked, he only needs to block the upstream and downstream, and does not have to worry about blocking the stream; if it is not blocked, then it will be a lot more troublesome.
"Yue Lang, I took a look at the painting. Is there a waterfall and pool upstream?" Li Erlang saw that Ji Qingyue didn't answer for a long time and seemed to be thinking. He couldn't help but come up with an idea: "If it's our method, we just need to intercept it." You can just keep the fish in the pond at one end, but there are really few places where we can raise fish.”
Ji Qing thought about it more and told Li Erlang what he was worried about.
Li Erlang nodded and realized: It turned out to be this barrier that prevented Yue Lang from coming out.
hateful.
In this case, the barrier divides the stream and the pool in half, and Ji Qing cannot cross it. If he wants to raise fish, he must test whether the fish can pass through the barrier.
